You can only upgrade your blog if your current version of WordPress needs to be upgraded. If you have the most recent version of WordPress, this installation tutorial will not apply to you.

Note: This upgrade process will deactivate any plugins that you may have installed in your current blog. Reactivate them at your own risk; they may or may not work properly once this updgrade process is complete and we can’t provide support for any problems that may occur.

Also, any configurations that you have made to your current blog will be overwritten by our SEO customizations in the upgrade process… that means your current blog configurations will be lost.

We strongly recommed that you backup your current blog before proceeding with this upgrade. If you do proceed with the upgrade, please proceed at your own risk.

We recommend you use our optimized blog package for new installations only.

Here’s how you install a new Free SEO Blog:

If you still wish to continue with the upgrade… here what you do:

1. Backup Your Current Blog Database

Before you upgrade your blog it is strongly recommened that you backup your database, just in case anything goes wrong. You will have a backup of all your posts, pages, comments, links, and configurations of your blog. To backup your blog you will need the WP-DBManager plugin installed. If you already backed up your blog’s database skip to step 2.

Here are some Free cpanel hosting tutorial videos that may help with database creation and administration.

b. Activate the new plugin by logging into your blog, then click on [Plugins] in your Dashboard. (Depending on the version of your blog, the link will have a different look and location in your Dashboard. See illustration below.)

c. Locate the WP-DBManager plugin in the list of plugins and click [Activate] on the right.

d. Now that you’ve activated your new plugin, let’s use the plugin to backup your database. Click on [Database] on your WordPress Dashboard menu.

e. Next, click on [Backup DB].

f. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on [Backup].

g. At this point you should have created a backup of your database. Now we will save the database to your local computer. Start by clicking [Manage Backup DB].

h. Select the most recent database backup (probably the only backup, if this is your first time using this plugin) and click on [Download].

i. Save the file somewhere on your computer in a safe place. The file you download will have the extension of .sql. You have successfully saved a backup file of your blog’s database.

2. Download the SEO Optimized WordPress Package.

a. To get a Free copy of the SEO Optimized WordPress package go to Free SEO Blog Software and request the download link.

b. Read the instructions in the 2nd email on where to download the package. (If you have downloaded this package previously, you may need to re-download the updated package, the package should be named: undergroundtraninglab-seo-wordpress-0.9b.zip)

c. After you have downloaded the package and extract it to your desktop. (If you do not have any extraction software, download and install WinRar here)

3. Uploading the Blog Package

a. Open your FTP client and upload the entire contents of the wordpress folder overwriting all the files of your current blog, EXCEPT for the wp-config.php file! (If you do not have a FTP client download and install Filezilla here)

IMPORTANT! DO NOT UPLOAD AND OVERWRITE THE wp-config.php FILE!!
